The Daly Planet is all over this story...and you should check it out if you're into NASCAR at all...but ESPN's coverage of the Allstate 400 At The Brickyard yesterday was simply a fiasco. If you saw the post from last night (it's still right down there...see it?), you know that I'm a big Juan Pablo Montoya fan. Anyway, you'd think that a former Indy 500 winner like Montoya finishing second in his first stock car race at the hallowed Yard of Bricks might be a big deal, right? Well, he was never shown crossing the finish line. ESPN only showed the winner, Tony Stewart, crossing the finish line and...mind-bogglingly...they never even bothered to put the order of finish up on the screen before leaving the air. Inexcusable. And we're stuck with these clowns for the rest of the season.

Thank you for mentioning my blog, I appreciate you taking the time to read my column on ESPN and Indy. When Fox Sports did not show Juan finish in the top five earlier in the season (Bristol or Richmong) I also let them know about it. You should know...its the exact same Producer. Small world.

John, I'm a huge fan and I'm very honored that you would drop by. Please feel free to do so anytime and keep up the outstanding work. Your blog is everyday reading for me and it's going straight onto my blogroll (where it should've been from the beginning). Thanks again!
